August 2011 Booting the Switch 11
Now that you have installed the switch components and
connected network and management cables, you can boot the
switch. To boot the switch, plug all power supply cords into
easily-accessible, properly grounded power outlets. (Do not
use extension cords.) The switch will power on and boot
automatically.
Note. If you have more than one power supply installed,
be sure to plug in each power supply in rapid succession,
(i.e., within a few seconds of each other). This ensures that
there will be adequate power for all modules throughout
the boot process.
Component LEDs
During the boot process, component LEDs will flash and
change color, indicating different stages of the boot. Following
a successful boot, the LEDs on all switch components,
including power supplies, should display as follows:
If the LEDs do not display as indicated, make sure the boot
process is completed. If the LEDs do not display as indicated
following a complete boot sequence, contact Alcatel-Lucent
Customer Support. For complete information on LED states,
refer to the OmniSwitch 6900 Hardware Users Guide.
Once the switch has completely booted and you have accessed
your computer’s terminal emulation software via the console
port, you are ready to log in to the switch’s Command Line
Interface (CLI) and configure basic information. Continue to
“Your First Login Session” on page 13.
